Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 Thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go and buy thee a linen girdle and put it upon thy loins, and thou shalt not put it in water.

2 And I bought the girdle according to the word of the LORD and put it on my loins.

3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,

4 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise; go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

5 So I went and hid it in the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
